I do agree that everything from all four of the true VU albums, and everything from "VU" is pretty goddamn perfect. But "Sister Ray" is their, "You thought you knew the truth of rock, but you don't know shit" song.

And if you can't make it all the way through "Sister Ray," then you are a pussy.

I'm sticking with you also gave birth to a lot of cutesy infantilized twee garbage that we see all over the place as well. Though I suppose Olympia Washington is equally to blame. It's not like they don't have their fair share of Clunkers in general though. Everybody does when they put out a decent amount of albums. The murder mystery song is pretty tedious if you ask me.

The Murder Mystery is great.

They only put out 4 albums (Squeeze does not count, of course). No skippable tracks in my mind.

Olympia, Washington? You're blaming Oly for cutesy twee? The hell? Oly also gave birth to Unwound, and a veritable fuckton of other decent hands and artists.
